Toyota Material Handling Europe enhances its 7FBRE-N reach truck range
December 2007 - TMHE enhances its 7FBRE-N
Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) has enhanced its range of Toyota reach trucks with the introduction of several new features that optimise operator comfort and productivity.
The enhanced 7FBRE-N range, with lift capacities of 1200, 1400 and 1600kg, boasts a redesigned truck cabin interior with highly adjustable seat and intuitive controls allowing the operator to concentrate on the job rather than the working conditions.
A fully automated PIN code access system eliminates the need for keys and improves security, as only authorised personnel can start and operate the vehicle. In addition, each PIN code can be allocated a performance setting including steering sensitivity, top speed, acceleration rate and auto-braking that personalises the truck for each operator.
The drive unit, including motor, gearbox and drive-wheel requires minimum maintenance while ensuring high performance under intense working conditions.
As a standard feature, the 7FBRE-N also includes a mounting rail for third-party equipment such as PCs, radio-data terminals and barcode scanners, ensuring that the truck is ready to integrate into large-scale operations and fleet management systems. A range of options include a height indicator and height pre-selection system, making high-level work simpler and safer.
Charlotta Björklund, Product Marketing Manager Warehouse Equipment, TMHE said: “These enhancements to the 7FBRE-N range demonstrate the attention Toyota Material Handling Europe gives to innovation and product development. We know that comfort generates greater levels of productivity and we believe this new model will achieve exactly that.”
She adds: “Businesses are maximising their warehouse space with the use of taller racking and narrower aisles, and it is essential that trucks are able to perform under changing circumstances. The 7FBRE-N has been designed to move easily between aisles and to reach high lift heights, making it an exciting addition to the reach truck range.”
The truck benefits from narrow chassis and lift heights of up to 8.5 metres making it the perfect choice for pallet handling in small to medium sized operations
